Gregor Johann Mendel (1822 - 1884)
Gregor Mendel Understanding Humans, 10th ed., p. 50
some basic terms . . .
genetically determined traits
e.g., eye color
“inherited characteristics”
11th Ed. p. 56
Glossary
learned traits
e.g., the ability to write
“acquired characteristics”
Glossary
an earlier theory stating that offspring receive a combination of all characteristics of each parent through the mixture of their “bloods”
blending inheritance
Glossary
an outmoded theory superseded by Mendelian genetics
blending inheritance
Glossary
physical traits are inherited as “particles”
• Mendel did not know what the particles were • today they’re recognized as particles like
chromosomes and DNA
particulate inheritance
Glossary
chromosomes discrete structures composed of DNA and protein found only in the nuclei of cells
The cell’s three dimensional nature Understanding Humans, 11th ed., p. 39
A model of a human chromosome Understanding Humans, 11th ed., p. 44
genotype
phenotype
Glossary
genotype
phenotype
Glossary
phenotype • the observable physical
characteristics of an organism
• the things you can see
• the detectable expressions of
genotypes

genotype
• includes genetic items you can not see

possible genotypes and phenotypes
gametes are “reproductive cells
(eggs and sperm in animals)
developed from precursor cells
in ovaries and testes”

dominant describing a genetic trait
governed by an allele (one of a group of genes)
that can be expressed in the presence of another, different
allele
Glossary
Conceptos básicos : Mendel: Experiment 1
Genotypes and phenotypes in the F1 generation.
recessive describing a genetic trait that
is not expressed in heterozygotes
Aa
Tt
Glossary
for a recessive allele to be expressed, there must be two copies of the allele, i.e., the
individual must be homozygous
aa tt

Crosses with Two traits
sex-linked trait traits carried by genes located
on the X or Y sex chromosomes
genetically normal females: XX
genetically normal males: XY
Glossary
sex-linked trait • most X-linked characteristics are
recessive in females • which means that unless they are
present on both X chromosomes of a female, the trait is carried but not expressed
Glossary
• males, with only one X chromosome, more commonly exhibit such traits phenotypically
•e.g. hemophilia
•e.g. red-green color blindness
sex-linked trait

sex-linked trait aka “Holandric Inheritance”
• Y-linked traits, which are directly involved with determining maleness, are manifested only by males
• known examples are rare but probably
include the long hairs on the ear rims of some adult males in India, Ceylon, Israel and aboriginal Australia

“In Mendel's experiments, offspring always looked like one of their two parents due to the
complete dominance of one allele over the other.”
“This is not always the case because some genes
display
incomplete dominance and individuals with heterozygous alleles exhibit
a phenotype intermediate between those with homozygous alleles.”

“Since neither allele dominates over the other, the use of an uppercase and
lowercase version of the same letter is inappropriate. In this example, the
character (i.e., flower color) is indicated by a letter (C), and the alleles (encoding
the trait; i.e., white, blue or red) are listed as uppercase subscripts (recall,
they are both uppercase because neither is dominant to the other).” -- Penn State Biology
